Occupational Therapist for the Children's Therapy in Høje-Taastrup Municipality

Would you like to help create the best conditions and terms for children with motor and/or sensory challenges in their continued growth, development and learning? Would you bring your professionally strong competencies and treatment methods into play through play and everyday activities, where it makes the most sense for the child and the family? And would you have good colleagues and multidisciplinary collaborators? Then we have the job!

The primary target group is children with motor and/or sensory challenges within both special and general education areas aged 0-12 years. You will become part of our multidisciplinary team with e.g. physiotherapists, health visitors, psychologists, special educational consultants, speech therapists and caseworkers.

You will become part of a team , where we work closely together and help each other, and where professional sparring and shared reflection are part of the framework around the task. You will get a mix of consultative tasks in the child’s learning environment and/or at home and therapeutic treatment of children aged 0-12 in Børneterapien’s premises. You will have great flexibility in solving tasks.

Børneterapien is part of the Children, Youth and Family Center (BUF), and we have a good working environment with a focus on well-being – for both children, families and employees.

You will get an exciting position with a wide professional variation and development opportunities. We place a high professional standard and continually work to develop ourselves professionally to best lift the core task – including education in Søheste-training.

Your tasks will include

• Observations of children in their nearby environments
• Investigations with e.g. Sensory Profile, SPM, Movement ABC-3, Bayley, visual perception tests & oral motor assessment tools
• Training of children and youths – both individually and in groups
• Baby treatments
• Maintenance of group teaching with Søheste-training as the method (if you do not know the method there is an opportunity for education)
• Preparation of written material in connection with feedback to parents, day care/school as well as hospital
• Handling of various municipal services (e.g. sparring and courses in pedagogical baseline offerings for children with special educational needs)
• Maintenance training of children with lasting functional impairments
• Guidance of pedagogical staff in the municipality’s day care, schools, special groups/group arrangements
• Rehabilitation after referral from the hospital (both somatic and psychiatric)
• Medical recordkeeping in accordance with the journal duty for health professionals

We are looking for you who are passionate about working with children and their families, and you who are confident in your profession and your professional profile. You work openly and empathetically with parents, cross-sector partners and multidisciplinary colleagues. You have a positive view of people, which will help to safeguard a good work community.

We would like you to

• Have experience with the sensory-motor development of children and youths
• Have knowledge of sensory profiles and standardized tests
• Have the ability to take responsibility for creating and maintaining multidisciplinary collaborative relationships
• Be able to convey complex professional knowledge in an easy-to-understand way
• Be able to work both independently and in close collaboration with multidisciplinary colleagues
• Be able to juggle in a fast-paced and unpredictable "room"
• Thrive in a daily life characterized by variation and change. Someone who can approach tasks with both flexibility and initiative
• Be interested in participating in development projects internally and externally for Børneterapien
